I have no intent of starting another long running thread on this. I
just have a few quick questions:
I am running linux now, but I'm considering switching over to BSD.
Reason being is that I'd like to learn a more widely used OS, no just
a PC based one. Could BSD give me this kind of experience over Linux?
In *MY* experience, yes, NetBSD could DEFINITELY do this for you.
FreeBSD also, but to a lesser extent (no offense -- I'm not saying
FreeBSD is a lesser OS).
